Thanks Truthteller. For another perspective: A WSJ editorial on Feb 27, goes into details explaining ways that the President currently has full legal authority to require that department managers use their own discretion to select and prioritize expense categories that can be cut to comply with the dollar savings required by the sequester. Apparently this is possible due to loopholes in the “sloppy law” that the 11th hour sequester legislation included. But it would appear that the minutia of these available policy options are not as interesting to 1.) politicians wanting to score political points by trying to bash opponents; nor to 2.) the media coverage of threats to jobs and programs. Threats that are very real in the current politicized climate in Washington.
My intention is to not get into a political debate.
In terms of near-term potential for AEMD re federal Government funds, I do find legitimate hope in the fact that DARPA is still announcing new contracts, as recently as the past few days. .
